Panasonic 3D lens

Photokina report

Friday 1st, October 2010Posted by: Dennis Hissink

News report Photokina - Panasonic introduced a new lens based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard from the Lumix G Micro System. The new Panasonic Lumix G 12.5mm / F12 (H-FT012) lens realizes high optical performance and compactness with many technical advantages. The world's first interchangeable 3D lens Lumix G 12.5mm / F12 (H-FT012) realizes 3D shooting. The Panasonic 3D lens features two optical systems installed within the diameter of the lens mount, creating stereo images from the left and right lenses, to be processed with a 3D image processing system.

Panasonic 3D lensDespite its unique performance, the 3D lens keeps its size extremely compact thanks to Panasonic's advanced optical technologies and consideration of image processing system as well as structural design. Shooting 3D content with an interchangeable lens system camera was possible by using panorama systems or a combination of two lenses and two CCDs, but these systems have drawbacks including the need for a dedicated 3D camera and the difficulties capturing moving objects. However, this new compact 3D-capable interchangeable lens allows easier handling and instant 3D shooting with cameras without a special structure for 3D shooting. It produces 3D photos without distortion or time lag between left and right images, even for moving objects. The 3D pictures, even close-up shots, taken with this lens are easy on the eyes when viewed on 3D VIERA televisions.

Panasonic 3D lens Lumix G 12.5mm / F12This year, the “First Year of 3D Era,” Panasonic has spearheaded the industry by launching 3D-capable VIERA televisions and 3D Blu-ray Disc players. While 3D content, including movies and sports, has become more widely available for viewing, there are many customers who want to enjoy 3D shooting themselves. This new lens will respond to such demands. The new Panasonic 3D lens allows users to shoot landscapes, people, and a variety of subjects in high-quality 3D, to be enjoyed later with their 3D VIERA televisions at home. As 3D content becomes ever more popular across a variety of media, Panasonic is leading the industry in bringing a true-to-life 3D experience to the customers, and even a fun of creating it by themselves utilizing the Lumix G Micro System.
